You know those adorable boxes that are super cute and help collect letters for Santa?  Target was selling one that I had in my online shopping cart for a bit but now I'm glad I didn't actually hit "Checkout".  A recall was announced for 2 "Letters to Santa" boxes that were sold at Target stores this past Christmas season after 7 people needed medical care due to lacerations caused by the product.  9 other people indicated that there were sharp spots on the product.

Below are a few details from the Consumer Product Safety Commission about this recall:
